Lyrics
It's a pity It's a crying shame He pulled you down again How painful it must be To bruise so easily Inside
It's a pity It's a downright crime It happens all the time You want to stay little daddy's girl You want to hide from a vicious world Outside Don't cry You know the tears will do no good So dry your eyes
Oh, your daddy He's the iron man Battleship wrecked on dry land Your mamma She's a bitter bride She'll never be satisfied Do you know? And that's not right
But don't cry You know the tears will do no good So dry your eyes
Oh, they told you life is hard Misery from the start It's dull It's slow It's painful
But, I'll tell you life is sweet Inspite of the misery There's so much more to be grateful
Well, who do you believe? Who will you listen to? Who will it be? 'Cause it's high time that you decide In your own mind
I've tried to comfort you I've tried to tell you to be patient They are blind And they can't see
Fortune gonna come one day They're all gonna fade away Your daddy, the war machine And Your momma, the long and suffering Prisioner of what she can not see
For they told you life is hard Misery from the start It's dull It's slow It's painful
But, I'll tell you life is sweet Inspite of the misery There's so much more to be grateful
So, who will you believe? Who will you listen to? Who will it be? Because it's high time that you decide It's time to make up your own Your own state of mind
Oh, they told you that life is long Be thankful when it's done Don't ask for more Be grateful
But, I'll tell you life is short Be thankful Because before you know It will be over 'Cause life is sweet Life is, oh, so very short Life is sweet And life is, oh, so very short Life is sweet
And life is sweet And life is sweet
